LOL. In Australia, there is a 10% government tax on tobacco that increases another 10% every year. So today, for a pack of 20 cigarettes, made out of the cheapest floor shavings they can find, is around $31 AUD. For Marlboro? You are looking at $50+ There is a MASSIVE underground tobacco industry now. Almost every shop just sells illegal tobacco under the counter. It's so widespread, and in such high demand, Police can't even do anything.

Lots of American brands use chink tobacco if I'm not wrong. Not all of it, mind you, but part of a blend.

Doesn't tobacco require humid conditions like a Virginia swamp?

Northern Australia is part of the South Pacific climate zone, and even has literal jungles.

(The jungles are part of the CAZ, or Cassowary Autonomous Zone. There is no law but cassowary law there, and only the suicidal or Snake Plisken should consider entry. And the suicidal should consider quicker, less painful ways to die than being at the "mercy" of cassowaries.)

It will work about as well as the billboards in the Midwest that have pictures of aborted fetuses all over them. Gun owners don't look at pictures of dead kids and decide they don't want to own a gun anymore. They know they will never use their gun to commit such an atrocity. It's not like a dog where it can get away from you and defy your wishes. It's an inanimate tool that is no more capable or motivated than the person wielding it.

I was not aware of this new sort of weaponization of Government Branches. This flew well and truly under my radar, FFL revocation will destroy small businesses. I'd like to say I'm outraged but I'm certain this is "normal". First they ban fracking and refuse to approve oil leases that were not grandfathered from the previous administration and now this; on top of every thing else. I legitimately feel that this administration is very very close to actual facism; well, closer than I'd like to see.

At least avowed Fascism tried to work for the economy (or tried to look like it at the very least. I'm no history buff).

This is intentionally destroying the economy for....? I don't see it helping the elites even. Maybe if they value a wealth gap more than total wealth which would just make them actually evil instead of just selfish.

It seems like this is what happens when some moron from the SF city council gets to run the nation. Republicans ignored the retardation of the Californian liberal for years even when they rigged the 2020 election. Here is that moron running the nation. Biden Administration represents that moron.

California as of right now is also trying to regulate small business shops put of business as well through adding external retarded costs of surveillance.

And it doesn't help many Republicans excluding the RINOs are still stuck with their heads in the sand since the 2020 election.

That is so fucking stupid. I think that they should keep going because of how stupid it is in spite of how bad taste it is, what with it being a mistake and how they're my opponents and it shows that they are this heartless, but this is like showing 9/11 footage during flying school to teach new pilots that crashing into buildings to instill terror on the population is in fact a bad thing. Here's hoping at least one dem uses most of their campaign funds to promote this and in turn get known as 'dead kid guy' after it inevitably solidifies them as the asshole they are.

I just want to know like...how they plan on doing this? A forced class where you're sat down Clockwork Orange style? Fancy new skins for your guns featuring Tommy the ventilated 10 year old? A looping video on a TV placed above the cashier's head?
